Michigan Public Interest Representation
All citizens have civil rights. Employees have a right to be free from discrimination and retaliation in the workplace, jail inmates have a right to be treated fairly and humanely, and individuals have the right to be heard by community decision-makers. Parsons Law Firm has over 30 years' experience representing individuals in public interest litigation in Northern Michigan.
Learn more about some of our civil rights and public interest practice areas below. We believe in helping private individuals help society to improve by recognizing its mistakes and by compensating individuals who have been hurt by those mistakes.
It is a sad fact that we cannot help all those who have been harmed by the government; we cannot stop all bad corporate conduct; we cannot stop all bad real estate deals. We can, however, do what we can to make society better.
If you think we may be able to help you with a Michigan civil rights case, we welcome you to contact us for a free, confidential consultation.
